GERMANIKÜRE
CRYSTAL GLASS FILES

Hello everyone!

Today I have a review of Germaniküre Glass Nail Files. 

They are handcrafted in the Czech Republic from Bohemian Glass, tempered to avoid breaking and the texture is  chemically etched onto the 3mm glass. Just to give you an idea 3mm is the average thickness of the mirror you buy for your house.

They come with phrases imprinted on them and they have a great variety to chose from here .

The files come in a leather case for storage, perfect for keeping in your bag. 

Now, I am a person with a lot of sensory issues, so when I first tried  the file I felt like I was scraping my nails on chalk board. Since they said it could be used wet or dry I tried it wet and it was perfect! Softly filed my nails without all that nail dust (this drives me insane, not to mention makes my nose itch!).

The soft texture of the handle makes it easy to use. Comfortable, without scraping your skin when you hold it.

The Inspirational phrase I chose for my file was : "Your body is not wrong, Society is."
Isn't that right?



In this video she will explain to you how to spot a fake.


Here is a quick video of me filing my nails while they were wet. I also cleaned the file after using it and it looks as good as new. 

Now notice how I am filing my nails with dual direction strokes, when I was done my nails felt polished, and not frayed.

They are embarking on a campaign against child labor, so stay tuned as they will have nail art contests to bring awareness to this world problem.

That is all for today's post.

Polish On!
Love,
Luciana

Stamping Stars and Stripes 
For the 4th of July

Hello Lovelies,

It is time for another Nail Art idea for the 4th of July. 
This time I stamped my red, white and blue.

I used:
Sinful Colors Snow me White and Endless Blue
DNA Italy Velutto

I double stamped my images using a jumbo see through squishy stamper I got from ebay, Konad scraper and HeHe plates numbers 003 and 029, the last one being a Harry Potter plate. I got them from Ali Express.

This was a very easy and quick mani.



What was used to achieve this look.

Testing to see how it would look like on my Ubber Mat

The perfect see through stamper. I was able to place my stripes effortlessly !

And the stars.


Hope you like this mani.
Have a wonderful weekend and a safe holiday!

Polish On!
Love,
Luciana
